Wiltshire Local Development Framework
Draft Wiltshire Housing Site Allocations Plan
Formal Pre-Submission Consultation on the Draft Plan
Friday 14 July – Friday 22 September 2017
Page 11 Introduction
The draft Wiltshire Housing Site Allocations Plan proposes new sites for housing to ensure we can plan effectively to meet Wiltshire’s housing needs in the most sustainable way.
Where necessary, it also reviews settlement boundaries for the principal settlements of Trowbridge and Salisbury, market towns, local service centres and large villages in Wiltshire, as identifi ed in the Wiltshire Core Strategy.
The Wiltshire Core Strategy, which was adopted after wide consultation in January 2015, requires at least 42,000 new homes to be delivered in the period 2006 to 2026. It plans for housing to come forward through a number of sources including: strategic site allocations in the Wiltshire Core Strategy; neighbourhood plans; planning applications; and site allocations plans, including this Plan.
A separate plan has already been prepared for the principal settlement of Chippenham, the Chippenham Site Allocations Plan (adopted May 2017), which can be found on the council’s website at: http://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/csap-adopt-adopted-may-2017..pdf
We now want to hear your views on the draft Wiltshire Housing Site Allocations Plan.
This formal consultation on the draft Plan will start 9am Friday 14 July and close at 5pm on Friday 22 September 2017.
Page 12 The consultation documents, including the draft Plan and supporting evidence can be found on the council’s websiteebsite Wiltshire L ocal Development Framewor k (http://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/wiltshsgsiteallocationsplan.an. htm).
The supporting documents include:
• Draft Sustainability Appraisal Report
• Draft Habitat Regulations Assessment Wiltshire Core Strategy • Consultation reports Adopted January 2015
• Topic papers setting out the site selection process methodology and the settlement boundary revieww methodology; housing land supply; developing plan proposals; viability appraisal as well as community area topic papers.
Alternatively, all the consultation documents can be found at the following locations during normal opening hours:
• The council’s main offi ces at Monkton Park (Chippenham), Bourne Hill (Salisbury), County Hall (Trowbridge)
• All Wiltshire Council libraries.
Page 13 Why are we proposing new housing sites?
The Wiltshire Core Strategy requires this Plan, together with the Chippenham Site Allocations Plan, to allocate sites to make sure there is suffi cient housing land supply throughout the remaining years of the plan period to 2026.
New housing sites are proposed at some settlements to support the delivery of the Wiltshire Core Strategy housing requirement of at least 42,000 new homes (2006 to 2026). They will also ensure that a fi ve year housing land supply can be maintained within the Housing Market Areas in Wiltshire to 2026, in line with government planning policy.
The Wiltshire Core Strategy splits the housing requirements into three separate Housing Market Areas. These are East Wiltshire, North and West Wiltshire, and South Wiltshire. They are shown on the map opposite and Table 1 shows the housing requirements.
Signifi cant housing development has already taken place since 2006 and there are also signifi cant commitments for new homes including allocations within the Wiltshire Core Strategy and Chippenham Housing Site Allocations Plan. However, further housing sites are necessary and minimum numbers to be allocated have been identifi ed for each Housing Market Area. These fi gures are shown in the table below.

Page 15 How have we identifi ed sites for allocation?
To guide how each Housing Market Area requirement should be achieved and thereby ensure a sustainable distribution of growth across Wiltshire, the Wiltshire Core Strategy sets out indicative (approximate) housing requirements at the community area level. These requirements are broken down to provide fi gures for principal settlements, market towns and their surrounding community areas. In South Wiltshire, requirements are also broken down by local service centres.
The proposed allocations therefore focus on those settlements and areas where there is a shortfall in housing and where there is the need to introduce new sites through the draft Plan to maintain a rolling fi ve year land supply position across the remainder of the plan period.
The proposed sites have been identifi ed using a selection process that is summarised in the diagram over the page. The full methodology is set out in Topic Paper 2: Site Selection Process Methodology and the results of the process are set out in the community area topic papers. Where housing sites are proposed to be delivered through neighbourhood plans which have either been ‘made’ or are suffi ciently advanced, these plans are taken into consideration in determining whether new sites should be allocated.
Page 16 What is the process for selecting sites at settlements?
1 Areas of Search Site selection focuses on community areas where housing land supply needs to be supplemented in order to meet Wiltshire Core Strategy indicative levels of housing development for 2006 - 2026 2a Strategic Assessment of Site Constraints Land promoted for development is recorded in the SHLAA sites are rejected from further consideration or Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA their capacity reduced where affected by obstacles to sites). These represent the pool of possibilities for Plan development such as heritage and wildlife designations proposals. and fl ood plain, or because the site is already a commitment for development or located in the built up area. 2b Strategic Assessment - Rural Settlements SHLAA sites at some Large Villages are removed from further consideration because previous and committed development already meets those villages local needs, they are in AONBs and alternatives are available or a Neighbourhood Plan for the settlement has already reached an advanced stage. 3 Sustainability Appraisal of Site Options Remaining SHLAA sites are assessed against 12 sustainability objectives. Sites with major adverse effects are rejected. Other sites are divided into ‘more’ or ‘less’ sustainable site options. 4a Selection of Preferred Sites The suitability of site options, prioritising the more sustainable ones, is assessed in greater detail to develop them into possible plan allocations. They are checked to be sure they fi t with Wiltshire Core Strategy strategy and preferred sites are selected. 4b Developing Plan Proposals The total contribution of all the preferred sites to each Housing Market Area is assessed in terms of overall land supply and whether Plan objectives are met. The selection of preferred sites is amended if necessary and confi rmed as Plan proposal. 5 Viability Assessment Plan proposals are checked to ensure that there is at least a reasonable prospect of them being implemented
6 Sustainability Appraisal of Draft Plan and Habitats Regulations Assessment A draft Plan is prepared containing the Plan proposals The Plan is ‘screened’ under the Habitats Regulations and their likely signifi cant effects are assessed in as to whether the draft Plan will result in signifi cant combination against the 12 sustainability objectives. adverse effects upon designated sites. As a consequence, an appropriate assessment is carried out and mitigation measures proposed. 7 Draft Plan The draft Plan is amended to include recommendations from sustainability appraisal and Habitat Regulations Assessment.
Page 17 Where have we identifi ed new allocations?

Maps of the proposed sites can be found in Chapter 5 of the draft Plan. An example is shown below which relates to land at Empress Way, Ludgershall. The maps show the extent of the proposed allocation in red (as well as housing, allocations may include areas for landscaping and open space) and the proposed settlement boundary in black.
Development of the proposed allocations will be guided by policies in the Wiltshire Core Strategy including those relating to high quality design, landscape, transport and affordable housing. Some proposals involve other uses alongside housing (e.g. primary school provision). These proposals (Plan Reference H1.1, H2.1, H2.7, H2.10 and H3.1 – see the table above) have a detailed policy in the draft Plan refl ecting more extensive site specifi c requirements.
Map showing land at Empress Way, Ludgershall
Page 19 Why review settlement boundaries?
The Wiltshire Core Strategy uses settlement boundaries as a policy tool for managing how development takes place. In simple terms, a ‘settlement boundary’ is the dividing line, or boundary between areas of built/urban development (the settlement) and non-urban or rural development - the countryside. In general, development within the boundary is, in principle acceptable, whereas development outside the boundary with limited exceptions, is not acceptable.
The principal settlements, market towns, local service centres and large villages identifi ed in the Wiltshire Core Strategy all have settlement boundaries, which were originally defi ned in the former district council local plans.
Where necessary, the settlement boundaries have been reviewed to ensure that: there is a clear defi nition as to the extent of the built up area of a settlement; they are up to date; and adequately refl ect changes on the ground since they were fi rst established.
The review has used a consistent methodology for the county to replace the slightly different methods used by the former district councils. A summary of the methodology is set out in Table 2 below. The exception to this is where a settlement boundary has already been reviewed through a ‘made’ neighbourhood plan or is being reviewed through a suffi ciently advanced neighbourhood plan. This is because the Wiltshire Core Strategy also supports the review of settlement boundaries through neighbourhood plans.
Page 20 The full methodology is set out in Topic Paper 1: Settlement Boundary Review Methodology and the community area topic papers explain the changes to the boundaries.
Maps showing both the previous and amended settlement boundaries can be found in Appendix 1 of the draft Plan. An example is shown below for Bratton which shows the existing settlement boundary in blue and the proposed boundary in red.
Map showing proposed settlement boundary changes at Bratton
Page 21 Table 2: Settlement boundary review methodology
The settlement boundary review methodology The settlement boundaries defi ne the built form of the settlement by, where practicable, following but not including clearly defi ned physical features, such as walls, fences, hedgerows, roads and water courses. Areas which have been included • Built and commenced residential and community facilities are: development such as religious buildings, schools and community halls, that is physically related to the settlement.
• Built and commenced employment development in principal settlements, market towns and local service centres1 that is physically related to the settlement.
• The curtilage of a property that relates more closely to the built environment (e.g. a garden) or has limited capacity to extend the built form of the settlement in terms of scale and location.
• Recreational or amenity space at the edge of a settlement that relates more closely to the built environment. Areas which have been excluded • Employment development, farm buildings and farmyards, at the are: edge of large villages.
• Isolated development that is physically detached from the settlement (including farm buildings or agricultural buildings and renewable energy installations).
• The extended curtilage of a property that relates more closely to the open countryside (e.g. a fi eld or paddock) or has the capacity to substantially extend the built form of the settlement in terms of scale and location.
• Recreational or amenity space at the edge of the settlement that relates more closely to the open countryside.
• All types of unimplemented planning permission (at 1 April 2016).
• Site allocations.

Page 22 How to respond
This formal consultation is an opportunity to submit your comments on the draft Plan and supporting documents.
To support the consultation, the council has prepared a simple guidance document setting out how to make comments. The document together with the representation form can be found at: http://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/wiltshsgsiteallocationsplan.htm
The representation form asks whether you consider the draft Plan to be ‘sound’ on four key points. These key points are taken from the National Planning Policy Framework and should be considered in responding to the consultation:
• Positively prepared - the plan should be prepared on a strategy which seeks to meet objectively assessed development and infrastructure requirements, including unmet requirements from neighbouring authorities where it is reasonable to do so and consistent with achieving sustainable development.
• Justifi ed - the plan should be an appropriate strategy, when compared against the reasonable alternatives, based on proportionate evidence.
• Effective - the plan should be deliverable over its period and based on effective joint working on cross-boundary strategic priorities.
• Consistent with national policy - the plan should enable the delivery of sustainable development in accordance with the policies in the Framework.
Please note that copies of all comments (including your personal details) will be made available for the public to view, and therefore cannot be treated as confi dential. Anonymous comments cannot be accepted. In addition, representations received beyond the closure of the consultation period may not be considered.
This formal consultation on the draft Plan will close at 5pm on Friday 22 September 2017.

Subject: Online Safety- Free support from Bobby Van Trust
Contact [email protected] / 01380 861191 Details:
The Wiltshire Bobby Van Trust has launched its Online Safety Initiative. This will be the first scheme of its kind in the country. If you are over 60, or Over 18 and registered disabled, and have concerns over your online safety you will be able to apply for a visit from an Online Safety Advisor. The Advisors have been interviewed following Police procedures and will be supporting The Wiltshire Bobby Van Trust to rollout this important new initiative. All Advisors are volunteers and they aim to cover the whole of Wiltshire and Swindon. Referrals can be made via self-referral either by email [email protected] or by calling 01380 861191. Alternatively via Wiltshire Police (101) and other supporting agencies. The aim of the Online Safety Advisor will be to visit the client’s home to offer a tailored service to: - Improve digital/cyber security awareness and help the client to identify potential risks - Offer cyber & scam prevention advice. - Signpost to future advice & available resources. - Provide support & reassurance. - If an offence is identified reporting signpost the client to 101 for Police investigation - Offer basic practical skills to ensure clients can check & understand privacy settings. - Provide talks & presentations to community groups Education is the key to its success. Jennie Shaw Director of the WBVT, “Online crime is the fastest growing crime in our County and as always it the elderly and vulnerable that seem to be the most targeted.” “At the Bobby Van Trust we recognize the fear of crime and loneliness within our client base continues to increase, as life expectancy has risen and people increasingly live alone or far from their families. A recent study showed that a fifth of older Britain’s felt lonely all the time. This isolation is having a serious effect on both mental and physical health. The computer is a tool to help prevent loneliness it enables people to keep in touch with family and friends or groups and interests”.
Page 27 Chairman’s Announcements
As with our home security service we will work closely with Wiltshire Police to maintain an awareness of current threats and to ensure our advice is current with ever changing trends. The Wiltshire Bobby Van Trust is a scheme which has been operating in Swindon and Wiltshire for nearly 20 years it provides a free home security service for older, vulnerable and disabled people.

Former Priestley Youth Centre, Calne
“This statement has been prepared by the Strategic Assets & Facilities Management team of the council and is made in Wiltshire Council’s role as landowner. In this capacity it has different roles and duties to comply with compared to its role as local planning authority.
Background
The property was included in Wiltshire Council’s property asset review in 2014 when the Council moved to a new model for youth services provision. In July 2015 the site was declared surplus to operational requirements by Cabinet Capital Assets Committee.
The Cabinet Capital Assets Committee was a committee of the Cabinet of Wiltshire Council; consisting of the leader of the council together with four appropriate members of Cabinet, appointed to the Committee by the leader of the council. The Cabinet Capital Assets Committee carried out within the council’s policy and budget framework all executive functions of Cabinet in respect of the management of the Council’s capital assets, whether by law or under the constitution, without rescinding any delegations existing elsewhere in the council. This Committee has now been merged with Cabinet and no longer exists
The Council’s resolution to dispose of the asset gives rise to an expectation that a capital receipt will be generated from the disposal; be it long lease or freehold.
Asset transfers to Town and Parish Councils are currently on hold pending a redefinition of the policy for service and asset devolution policy. Community Asset Transfers (CATs) to community groups are still being considered; however any application for this site would be considered as a Category 1 application (as defined by the policy) and the existing authority to dispose of this asset would be a material consideration. Further details of the current CAT policy can be found in the 26th July 2011 Cabinet minutes.
Marketing
The property and field are now being advertised for disposal by retained Agents, Lambert Smith Hampton. The emphasis of the marketing is for a sale for continued community use, which satisfied existing planning policy. The Agents have been instructed to document all expressions of interest. A guide price has not been advertised however offers from community organisations will be considered where they are supported by a credible business plan which demonstrates funding and long term viability for the proposed community use.
The property is being widely advertised initially through mailshot, marketing board, social media and the internet. All enquiries regarding the property should be routed through LSH.
The Council is obliged, via legislation (Section 123 of the Local Government Act), to obtain best consideration for the disposal of all assets and if a disposal for community use appears unviable it may seek alternative uses for the site to ensure it meets this legislative obligation.

Subject: Community Resilience- Emergency Plans Officer Sarah Kelly (Emergency Plan Resilience and Response Officer) Contact [email protected] Details:
Planning for emergencies is an important job for the organisations who respond to incidents, but it is also important for local communities to think about how you may be able to assist the emergency services and other responders.
The main way of doing this is to create a community emergency plan. This can be as simple as a contact list for key people within the community, or a more comprehensive plan which covers the emergencies which are most likely to occur in your area (rather than just the absolute worst-case scenarios), and how your community would respond to them. Your local knowledge is also very important to the organisations who will be responding to the situation. Information such as where floods most often, what roads could be made inaccessible by snow, how badly a power cut would affect your community and where the nearest places of safety are (village/community hall etc) can greatly help the emergency services, council and other groups. Having this recorded beforehand could potentially save a lot of time if the information is needed in response.
Keeping your plans flexible is also important; they should be able to be picked up for almost anything, even if you only use the contact details and information on the nearest community centre for most events.
Getting started with these plans can be difficult, and knowing what to include even harder. If you are stuck with where to begin, there is a template available to get you started with writing an emergency plan for your area. Please contact Sarah Kelly, Emergency Planning Officer, Wiltshire Council, if you would like a template, or advice about writing your plan. There is also a Community Risk Register Available on the Wiltshire & Swindon Local Resilience Forum (LRF) website (http://wiltshireandswindonprepared.org.uk/community-risk-register/ ). This details the different risks to the Wiltshire and Swindon area, and how likely they are to happen. This document should be adapted to your area if you wish to use its information, as not all risks are relevant to each part of Wiltshire.
It is recommended that to keep your plan in its best condition, it should be exercised with everyone who has a role in it once a year, and contact details should be updated at least once a year, or when there has been a change. There is an exercise template available if you would like to exercise your plan, it is available as a PowerPoint presentation or a Word document, again please contact Sarah Kelly if you would like to discuss the exercise or be sent a template.

Subject: Voice Your Views at Interactive Public Meeting Officer Contact [email protected] Details:
Invitation to voice your views at interactive public meetings
You are invited to attend one of a series of meetings that Wiltshire Council is hosting to discuss the challenges that the council is facing and the impact that these could have.
The council currently spends around £900m each year on more than 300 services and has recently agreed a plan to deliver an ambitious programme of work over the next 10 years.
The council’s vision is to create strong communities, prioritising growing the economy, protecting those who are most vulnerable, and working with partners in an innovative and effective way.
Changing demographics and the continuing reduction in funding from central government mean we have to continue to find substantial savings and work even more closely with local communities to encourage and support them to do more for themselves.
The council’s cabinet members will be attending the meetings to discuss the challenges and to invite and listen to your views and suggestions on how these can be best managed.
Details of the informative and interactive meetings are set out below.
We look forward to seeing you and hope that you will be able to join us. It would be extremely helpful if you could confirm your attendance by emailing [email protected]
Date Location Venue Time

Subject: Assertive Outreach with Rough Sleepers Officer Contact Sarah Johnson Details:
Weblink: [email protected]
Sarah is employed by Wiltshire Council to support those who identified as sleeping rough throughout the County. This is part of a wider strategy by the Housing Options Team who work in partnership with other agencies to address this issue.
She attends the various third sector drop in centres that take place each week at Devizes, Trowbridge, Chippenham and Salisbury. Her role is to work with service users at the drop in and to engage them sufficiently to address the barriers that prevent their housing being addressed, as well as supporting them to access other services that would support sustaining a change in lifestyle.
This often involves assisting them to engage with the Council’s Housing Options Team to look at housing solutions suitable to their circumstances and helping them be aware of what they can do to help themselves.
Most of those sleeping rough have a variety of problems that compound their situation and these problems need to be worked on, often before housing can be considered as otherwise they won’t be able to sustain accommodation. Sarah will arrange registration with Drs and banks, attend with individuals at the surgeries, Substance Misuse Services, Mental Health Teams and where else an individual may need help.
There is no formal referral route to take but if you are concerned about someone you see sleeping rough in Wiltshire you can make a report through the STREETLINK site: http://www.streetlink.org.uk/tell-us-about-a-rough- sleeper or alternatively email Sarah at [email protected]

Patients in Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Sustainability and Transformation Partnership (STP) area are set to benefit from expansion of diabetes prevention programme as NHS England drives forward changes to support people to live healthier lives.
The head of NHS England, Simon Stevens, has announced 13 new areas, including Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire partnership, are now live and ready to offer a leading NHS prevention programme to patients identified at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
Wave 2 of the Healthier You: NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme is part of a wider package of measures to support people at risk of type 2 diabetes to get healthier, keep well and reduce their risk of developing the disease.
Local people from the Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire (BSW) area who are referred on to the programme will get tailored, personalised help to reduce their risk of developing the disease. Their support will include education on healthy eating and lifestyle choices, reducing weight through bespoke physical exercise programmes and portion control, which together have been proven to reduce the risk of developing the disease.
The programme, which is run collaboratively by NHS England, Public Health England and Diabetes UK, was officially launched last year, with the first wave made up of 27 areas and covering 26 million people – almost half of the country. The latest national figures reveal the programme is making good progress, with just under 50,000 people referred in Wave 1 and more than 18,000 on the programme in at the end of April. This exceeds the original target set in the NHS Mandate of 10,000 referrals during 2017/18.
Wave 2 areas will cover another 25% of the population, with an estimated 130,000 referrals and up to 50,000 additional places made available thanks to the expansion. The ambition is for the programme to eventually cover the whole of the country and these figures could rise to as many as 200,000 referrals and more than 80,000 people on programmes by 2018/19.
Early evidence is positive and suggests that just under half of those taking up the programme are men – a much higher proportion that traditional weight loss programmes, while roughly a quarter of people are from black and ethnic minority communities.

New One You Campaign encourages adults across the country to get more active by building just 10 minutes of brisk walking into their daily lives.
Modern day life makes it hard to be healthy, so it’s not surprising that most of us are not fitting enough physical activity into our days. Sitting down at work and commuting by car or public transport means we’re not active for a lot of the working day and technology allows us to shoe and stay in touch without ever having to leave the sofa.
However, a brisk ten minute walk can make a huge difference to your health – it gets the heart pumping faster, can make you feel better, more energetic and improve your mood. Over time, brisk walking can help to lower the risk of serious illness like heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
The One You campaign is encouraging adults to start improving their health by walking briskly for 10 minutes each day and to help people are being encouraged to download the ‘Active 10’ app. This free app shows how much brisk walking you’re doing, when you can increase your pace and how you can fit more brisk walking into your day. It also sets goals and provides hints and tips to keep you going, and has been endorsed by the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP).
50,000 people have already downloaded the app and are on their way to a healthier lifestyle, so why not join them?
New prescription ordering service for Wiltshire
A new prescription ordering service run by Wiltshire Clinical Commissioning Group means local patients can order repeat prescriptions over the phone from the comfort of their own home and then collect them a UK pharmacy of their choice.
Prescription Ordering Direct (POD) is run by a dedicated team of trained prescription coordinators supported by experienced pharmacists who are on hand for medicines advice and complex queries. The Wiltshire based telephone team is currently available for five of Wiltshire’s GP Practices covering a population of 78,000 – with plans to roll the service out across the county.
The Right Healthcare,Page for you, 49 with you, near you The POD has been up and running for 12 weeks and during that time the teams have taken more than 7,000 calls from patients and have ordered 18,000 prescription items.
The POD is being introduced to Wiltshire GP Practices on a town-by-town basis and our aim is to roll it out to all of the county’s practices over the next couple of years. Next to benefit from the service from 15 September will be surgeries in Royal Wootton Basset.
Prescription Ordering Direct is currently available for patients at:
Lovemead Group Practice, Trowbridge Giffords Surgery, Melksham Castle Practice, Ludgershall and Tidworth White Horse Health Centre, Westbury Avenue Surgery, Warminster
The POD is open Monday – Friday (except on Bank Holidays) from 9am – 5pm. Patients do not need to register for the service and should call when they have seven days left of their medication.

Roadshow aims to put Wiltshire people in the driving seat on health and care issues Staff and volunteers from the county’s independent health and care champion will be taking to the roads of Wiltshire in September to find out what people think about their local health and care services. Healthwatch Wiltshire aims to speak to at least 1000 people from all corners of the county as part of its ‘Campervan and Comments Tour.’ The roadshow will travel almost 400 miles zig-zagging around Wiltshire in a classic 1969 VW campervan and park up at key locations around the county to gather the views of people of all ages. Lucie Woodruff, Healthwatch Wiltshire Manager, explained: “We want to reach at least 1000 people from all over Wiltshire in just two weeks. We thought it would be a great idea to hire a campervan and visit places where people might not have heard of Healthwatch before. “The role of a local Healthwatch is to make sure the health and care system in the area meets the needs of the people who use it. Feedback is gathered from patients and their families on services such as GP surgeries, care homes, hospitals, mental health and social care. These findings are then taken to the organisations which plan, pay for and deliver health and care services. “Wiltshire is such a huge county and we thought a roadshow would be a great way to reach more people and give them the opportunity to have their voice heard. Plus, everyone who we speak to will get free refreshments and a cupcake too!” Planned tour dates Monday 18 September to Friday 29 September. For venues, see list overleaf
Get social! People can tweet or share on Facebook or Instagram #hwwiltsontour at one of the campervan locations to enter a competition to win a hamper of cupcakes.

Healthwatch Wiltshire is a local independent organisation which exists to speak up for people on health and care. If you have used a service recently then we would like to hear from you. We use what people tell us when we meet with the commissioners and providers of services to make sure that they take account of your views and experiences.

Agenda Item 8
Report to Calne Area Board Date of meeting 19th September 2017 Title of report Youth Grant Funding
Purpose of the Report: To consider the applications for funding and procurement listed below together with the recommendations of the Local Youth Network (LYN) Management Group.
Grant Applications:
Applicant Amount requested LYN Management Group recommendation Alabare £899.83 Recommended Wordfest £250.00 Recommended and Delegated Authority taken
LYN initiatives Project Amount requested Participatory budgeting £5000 Recommended
In respect of urgent matters that may arise, the Community Engagement Manager, following consultation with the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Area Board, may authorise expenditure to support youth projects from the youth budget of up to £5,000 in total between meetings of an Area Board. The decision and reasons why it was considered urgent will be reported to the next meeting of the Area Board.
1. Background The recommendation from the LYN Management Group has been made in accordance with the following guidelines:
Leaders guidance for Community Area Boards on Positive Activities for Young People Positive Activities for Young People local Youth Network Terms of Reference Positive Activities Toolkit for Community Area Boards Procurement Policies and Guidelines http://thewire.wiltshire.council/index/service-areas- carolyn-godfrey/business-services-procurement/procurement-policies-and-guidance.htm
Young people have considered this application and identified it as a priority for Area Board funding.
2. Main Considerations
2.1. Councillors will need to be satisfied that Youth Grant Funding awarded in the 2015/2016 year are made to projects that can realistically proceed within a year of it being awarded.
2.2. Councillors will need to decide and be assured that young people and the community will benefit from the funding being awarded and the project/positive activity proceeding. The
LYN Grant Recommendations Repot Version 1.0 30th April 2015
Page 55 application should meet the identified needs, priorities and outcomes for young people in the areas, as identified in the LYN Needs Assessment and Strategic Plan.
2.3. Councillors will need to ensure measures have been taken in relation to safeguarding children and young people.
2.4. Councillors will need to ensure that young people have been central to each stage of this Youth Grant Funding application.
2.5. Councillors will need to be satisfied that procurement policies and guidelines have been adhered to.
3. Environmental & Community Implications 3.1 Youth Grant Funding will contribute to the continuance and/or improvement of cultural, social and community activity and wellbeing in the community area, the extent of which will be dependent upon the individual project.

8. Safeguarding Implications 8.1 The Area Board has ensured that the necessary policies and procedures are in place to safeguard children and young people. The Community Youth Officer has assessed this application agreed it meets safeguarding requirements.
8.2 Wiltshire Council has ensured that the necessary policies and procedures are in place; through its’ procurement process, to safeguard children and young people. However, the Area Board needs to be satisfied that the providers being procured have everything necessary in place. The Community Youth Officer has assessed this and agreed providers meet safeguarding requirements.
9. Applications for consideration
Application ID Applicant Project Proposal Requested Alabare grant Alabare Activities Project £899.83
Project description This project involves a range of activities and experiences for the young people within the Alabare services ranging from crafting to mountain climbing. This will benefit them in a number of ways,
LYN Grant Recommendations Repot Version 1.0 30th April 2015
Page 56 such as developing their self esteem and increasing their confidence to finding work or investigating work experience or training. Alabare have 7 houses for homeless and vulnerable young people over three community areas. This grant represents 1/3 of the total project cost. Trowbridge and Calne community areas are also being approached for 1/3 of the costs. The project aims include making the project sustainable by selling crafts in order to buy more materials. Recommendation of the Local Youth Network Management Group Recommended for £899.83
Application ID Applicant Project Proposal Requested Wordfest Wordfest/ Calne Our Youth engagement £250 Place Project description To provide youth engagement activities as part of Wordfest 2017. A Vlogging (youtube) workshop practitioner will be procured to provide workshops throughout a day in workshop week. During the school day this will be groups from home school netowrks, alternative education, Springfield and John Bentley. After school he will run a drop in workshop in the library and community hub. Young people will take part in writing their own material for videos and songs.
The LYN and JSA suggest that the inclusion of young people in activities that will help to raise their skills and access to opportunities for development is an local priority and the Calne Area Board has set up a new working group to look at developing Skills and Training opportunities for all ages.
Input from Community Engagement Manager regarding delegated powers:
We need to use delegated authority because the applicant has worked hard to identify a suitable activity specifically to attract young people to engage with the Calne Wordfest Literacy Festival and has discovered this opportunity at a late date, after the rest of the festival has been arranged and funded through reserves and successful non-Wiltshire Council funding applications.
The next Area Board is due to take place on the 19th September, but the activity needs to be arranged and paid for before then in order for it to be included within the Wordfest programme (23-30th September). I have taken into account that, even if the group had been able to identify this activity sooner, the last opportunity to have applied for funding from the Area Board was back in June, when the festival was in its early planning stage and could not reasonably have been expected to have been ready to make an application.
I have consulted with the Chair and Vice Chair of the Area Board and also with the Chair and Vice Chairs of the Local Youth Network who are all in support of this application and for me to use delegated authority to approve it.
LYN Grant Recommendations Repot Version 1.0 30th April 2015
Page 57 Recommendation of the Local Youth Network Management Group Recommended
LYN initiatives Project Title Project Cost Participatory Budgeting £5000 In response to the JSA Community Matters events and discussions with sports groups, the LYN would like to hold another youth event to showcase local groups with a focus on physical activity and healthy lifestyles. This event will have the same approach as the Unfair Funfair which was successful in 2015. The event will look at obstacles to engagement in activity and invite groups to contribute to a large obstacle course. In addition to this event the LYN would like to hold a participatory budgeting exercise where young people vote for projects to receive funding.
All projects requesting funding during the event will be examined by the LYN and LYF with assistance from Sports Development to ensure they meet grant criteria and safeguarding regulations. The groups will have the opportunity to showcase their idea for funding during the youth event. Their idea will need to be focused on new activities within their organization, for example starting a junior section. Young people attending the event will vote for their favourite activity. The groups with the most votes will receive a proportion of the funding amount available.
The LYN request £5000 to be made available to the LYN to delegate to appropriate projects that young people vote for. Any money not allocated will be returned to the budget.

Report to Calne Area Board Date of Meeting 19th September 2017 Title of Report Calne Dementia Friends Steering group update/recommendations
Purpose of Report:
To ask the area board:
1. To note the discussions and actions recorded at the Dementia Friends steering group meeting held on 1st June 2017
1. The Calne Dementia Friends steering group met at Calne Community Hub and Library on 1st June 2017. The following notes and action points were recorded at the meeting and have been acknowledged as an accurate record by all present:
Calne Dementia Friends Steering Group
Harris Room, Calne Community Hub
1st June 2017
Notes taken by Jane Vaughan
NOTES
1. Apologies: None received
2. Attendees: Christine Crisp, Diane Gooch, Andrew Day, Trudy King, Jane Vaughan, Stephanie Coulson
3. Open Discussion: Following the completion of the first year of a Dementia Action Alliance in the Calne Community Area the group decided it wished to use this meeting to discuss the future arrangement and direction of the steering group:
CC outlined some of the key achievements and it was agreed that it had been a successful year.
Page 59 Thanks were expressed to the volunteers who manned the information display stand and ‘coffee morning’ in the Hub on the Duck Race day. Thanks also to Beth Henly for providing cakes for Duck Race day. Thanks were expressed to Trudy King for creating the Dementia Awareness display for DA week and for making cakes for the Open Friends Sessions and DAA meeting. Thanks also to Sue Peskit for co-ordinating and producing sensory muffs for the DAA to donate to local people. There was a discussion about how the muffs etc. could best be distributed. SC reported that she knew of several people already who would benefit from receiving one and links with others who had links to others. The group asked Steph to take a few muffs away with her to test out with her contacts. It was decided that there should not be an emphasis on selling the muffs, but that, if asked, Steph should say that a voluntary donation could be made. – Donations received would be discussed with Sue, but it was suggested that they should be given to the Calne Memory Club or be reinvested in the creation of more muffs/blankets etc. It was felt that one drawback of the year was that, as a result of the enthusiasm and innovative approach of the steering group, the Action plan had become quite unwieldy and using that as an ongoing agenda for the group was no longer helpful leading to lengthy meetings and daunting numbers of actions for some members of the steering group. JV/TK explained that as officers it was increasingly difficult to administer the group/action plan and actions for the steering group and the DAA.
In order to simplify things, it was felt that the group should
focus on 2 or 3 actions/projects at a time carried forward through a standard agenda Maintain the action plan as a background document. Identify more community volunteers to help to administer the group and DAA process and to move forward actions and projects.
4. Standing agendas 2017-2018 The group decided that future agendas should focus on:
Current Actions – o Engaging local hairdressers - DG would be the lead for this action and would focus upon encouraging local salons and mobile hairdressers to become Dementia Friends initially and then, where possible to move on to become members of the DAA.
o Develop relationships with local cafes/pubs etc. - to encourage staff to become Dementia Friends and to go on to join the DAA. SC was already in contact with ‘Fays’ bistro on Beach Terrace who had recently begun to provide ‘meals on wheels’ for a person living with dementia locally. SC would work to develop relationship with Fays and encourage them to become Dementia Friendly and go on to join the DAA. It was decided that trying to develop other community ‘Meals on Wheels’ arrangements with other establishments should develop as people requiring such assistance and volunteers prepared to take on this project were identified.
o Recruiting Volunteers – It was felt that attracting new volunteers was vital to the development of the DAA and steering group. The group decided to
Page 60 develop a list of volunteering opportunities and potential projects arising from the Action Plan.
Volunteer opportunity list would include:
o Black Mat audit o Sensory muff project o Dementia Walks o Social Media promotion o DAA membership admin o DAA admin o Dementia Champion co-ordinator
Local discussion – based upon an update of the experiences of group members working on the ground (e.g. SC feedback from her clients and their carers, DG and local groups/organisations becoming DAA members etc., R as expert by experience).
Action Plan – to consider whether any new items from the Action Plan should come onto future agendas and whether anything discussed should be sent to the action plan.
5. Membership of the Steering Group. Discussion involved:
The importance of steering group members helping to advance actions between meetings.
Ensuring that the group was not too large and that discussions should not become too complicated – the group should stick to the agenda and focus on the current priorities for action.
It was felt that the Memory club should be asked if they still wished to have a seat on the steering group or, as they were now a member of the full alliance, to withdraw from the steering group.
It was also felt that it would be beneficial to involve another person living with dementia onto the group. DG was aware of a contact who might be interested. The group felt this would provide a useful addition to the group.
It was noted that CH was unlikely to be able to attend steering group meetings due to her new position. However, it was understood would continue to act as a Dementia Champion and also may be prepared to volunteer with the group in future. Everyone expressed their thanks for Clare’s previous involvement and hoped that she would continue to be involved in DAA activities as they develop.
Dependent upon Diane’s conversations, the steering group would then be: Christine Crisp – (Chair of Dementia Friendly steering group)
Diane Gooch - (Chair of Dementia Action Alliance)
o support from the Area Board
Page 61 o support from Calne Town Council
o support from Alzheimer’s Society
o Care Co-ordinator (Northlands/Patford surgeries)
o 2 x Experts by experience
o Carer
o Care provider
6. Updating the Action Plan
JV/TK would arrange to meet to review the action plan and bring to the next meeting for approval.
7. Date of next meetings:
The next steering group meeting would take place on Tuesday 12th September at 1pm in the Community Hub – Harris Room.
The next FULL Dementia Action Alliance meeting would take place on Weds 18th October at 6:30pm in the Community Hub – Library
The full DAA would be preceded by an Open Dementia Friends session at 5pm, everyone was asked to promote this and encourage people to attend.

9. Application for revision
Application Applicant Project Proposal Awarded ID Floodlights and Ground
1937 Calne Town Football Club Improvements £5,000.00
Project Description: Calne Town FC was awarded a community area grant for £5,000 on 31st May 2016 – This was a contribution towards a major project of works that was costed at that time to total £69,000 and planned to cover the following aspects:
New changing room roof New fence Removal of Asbestos Reinstate rear of the stand New changing room flooring New floodlights including columns
Input from Community Engagement Manager: Unfortunately this project experienced a shortfall in additional funding and the total amount raised was £47,800 (as outlined below). At that time the club decided to amend its project plan to a phased approach, with phase 1 focussing solely upon the installation of floodlights which was urgently needed in order to meet league requirements.
INFORMATION RELATING TO FUNDS RECEIVED FOR THE 2016/17 FLOODLIGHTING PROJECT ONLY
Funding achieved to cover Calne Area Board £5,000 the costs of the National Football Centre £10,00.00 Floodlighting Project only. The Football Foundation £32,100.00 Calne Town FC £700.00
TOTAL INCOME FOR FLOODLIGHT PROJECT >>>> £47,800.00
The other works, which were still urgently needed would form part of a 2nd project, which would involve additional fundraising.
Unfortunately, at that time, the Football Club did not understand the need to inform the Area Board of this change to the plan, which has only recently come to light as the Club completed the installation of floodlights, completed its evaluation of the area board grant and began its fundraising campaign for the 2nd project.
Page 83
As the amended project continues to meet Community Area Grant Criteria and has still managed to draw down £42,800 of external funding, Members are asked to support in retrospect the amendments to this project and to approve the use of the original Community Area Grant.
Proposal That the Area Board notes the revision of this application to include the provision of floodlighting only.
Application Applicant Project Proposal Awarded ID Calne Community Day Dishwasher
2261 £1,295.00 Centre Proposal That the Area Board notes the revision of this application to include the provision of additional equipment. Project Description: Provision of a new dishwasher for the Calne Community Day Centre – this project was originally awarded a community grant of £1,295 on 7th Feb 2017.
Input from Community Engagement Manager: The applicant has provided information that final costings involved in this project were slightly different from the original plan as a result of a reduction in the cost of the dishwasher and that they wish to add the provision of additional kitchen equipment to the project.
This project still meets Community Area Grant Criteria and still achieves 50% match funding.
Suggested Change to plan Expenditure Income Purchase of 2113.66 Calne Area Board 1295.00 dishwasher Installation 255.00 Calne Charities Trust 997.00 Additional equipment 298.00 Calne Lions 300.00 Voluntary labour (in kind 75.00 contribution aligned to Heritage Lottery Fund guidance) TOTAL: 2666.66 2667.00
Proposal That the Area Board notes the revision of this project plan to include the provision of additional equipment.

10. Applications for consideration
Application ID Applicant Project Proposal Requested
2492 1st Calne Guides Calne Guides Camping Equipment £2009.98 Project Description: This project will provide 4x hard wearing 10man tents and one kitchen tent for the Calne 1st and 3rd Guide units and will enable them to provide residential guide camps.
Input from Community Engagement Manager:
1st and 3rd Calne Guides run weekly sessions for girls aged 10-14 doing a variety of activities to challenge them and to help them grow as individuals.
Members of 1st and 3rd Calne Guides will be able to use these tents every year to go away and take part in Guide camps that will provide them with unique opportunities and experiences to help them develop independence and relevant life skills, empowering them to become confident young women.
The tents will also be used in unit meetings as part of camp skills and training.
The Girlguiding association has a suite of policies, procedures and codes of conduct in place to ensure that their activities and interactions are conducted in a safe and inclusive environment.
While boys are not involved in Girlguiding, it is understood that this would not be seen as discrimination, because providing a girl-only space is an important way in which the organisation operates to achieve its aims of enabling girls and young women to develop their potential.
While this is not an application to the Local Youth Network, the Community Engagement Manager has liaised with the Chair and Vice Chairs of the group who have no comments to add for consideration.
This application can be seen to address the JSA and Community priorities to develop training and skills and to encourage active, healthy lifestyles.
The amount requested represents 50% of the total project cost.
Proposal That the Area Board determines the application.
Application ID Applicant Project Proposal Requested Laptops dedicated for Calne
2493 Wiltshire Citizens Advice £978.00 Citizens Advice Service Project Description: To provide 3x lightweight easily portable laptops to enable Citizens Advice volunteers to provide more flexible dedicated support to the Calne Community at the Community Hub and Library.
Page 85
Input from Community Engagement Manager:
Citizens Advice is an organisation that works to support local people in resolving issues that they are unable to resolve on their own.
Issues cover a wide range of matters from debt, benefits and housing advice to consumer, discrimination and relationship issues.
Residents of Calne can drop in to the Community Hub for advice and speak with an adviser face-to-face every Monday, they will receive the time necessary to resolve the issue either immediately or over a series of appointments for more complex issues.
The organisation suggests that research shows their help assists people to feel better off, less stressed, healthier and more able to manage difficult situations and that people who make use of the service are often the most disadvantaged in the community.
Calne’s Citizens Advice service moved into the Community Hub and Library earlier this year to make its services more accessible to the community. The move required Advisers to operate without dedicated office space and to deliver advice wherever space is available. They need laptops rather than fixed base computers to provide this flexibility. Existing laptops have passed their asset value life and are no longer fit for purpose.
Volunteers from Citizens Advice estimate that they will provide an effective service for up to 650 people in Calne this year and believe that the new laptops will enhance this offer.
This application can be seen to link to JSA and Community priorities to support mental and emotional health.
The amount requested represents 100% of the total project cost.
Proposal That the Area Board determines the application.
Application Applicant Project Proposal Requested ID Calne Community Project supporting Calne Campaign to
2495 £880.69 Area Fairtrade Group become Fairtrade Community Project Description:
Display equipment including A frames, screens and banners for use in the revived campaign to achieve Fairtrade Foundation Community status for the Calne Community Area.
Input from Community Engagement Manager:
This project will assist the Calne Fairtrade group to launch a new promotion and development campaign in the Community Area as part of their drive towards achieving Fairtrade Community status.
The group suggests that this will benefit the community in the following ways: 1. Calne Town – The group is working with Our Place to optimise the synergy between the two activities trying to raise the status and profile of the town with the aim of increasing footfall of the community and tourists.
Page 86
2. Calne Parishes - similar aims as for the town although smaller in scale and eventually with Fairtrade Community signage seen at town and Parish levels. 3. An increase of the community’s awareness of Fairtrade and of the lives, cultures and experiences of people from beyond their own familiar boundaries promoting notions of social cohesion and inclusion globally and locally.
The group has received formal support from the Town Council and Calne Area Board. The applicant attended an Area Board meeting in June 2017 to provide an over view of the revival of this project and group it was noted that ‘Members of the Area Board gave their support to the project and Cllr Tom Rounds, in particular gave his approval, stating that in addition to the economic and tourist benefits, there was a moral incentive to become a Fairtrade town’.
This application can be seen to link to JSA and Community priorities to create business opportunities and to promote diversity and inclusion.
The amount requested represents 100% of the total project cost. Proposal That the Area Board determines the application.
Application ID Applicant Project Proposal Requested
2503 Calne Town FC Calne Town FC ground improvements £5000.00 Project Description: Following the successful completion of Phase 1 of its ground improvements with the installation of floodlighting last year Calne Town Football Club is now raising funds for a 2nd project. This will provide physical improvements to facilities in the following ways: 1. Providing a new roof to its clubhouse along with new guttering and fascia. 2. The removal of asbestos from the rear of the stadium. 3. The erection of a new wooden fence. 4. Signage will be renewed. 5. Improvements to the perimeter pathway in line with the Step 6 review inspection report. 6. Replacement of flooring in the away changing rooms in line with league requirements.
Input from Community Engagement Manager:
Calne Area Board supported the Football Club to achieve its first phase of ground improvements with a grant for £5,000. Further information about that project is detailed in section 9 of this report.
This application will bring the ground up to an acceptable standard for the league that the club is currently playing in: The existing roof leaks into the club house utility room over the electrical distribution cabinet and in recent years during and following significant rain storms games have had to be called off for safety reasons. The roof has been regularly maintained but has passed its asset life and in spite having been patched several times in the past, now requires a full replacement.
The location of asbestos within the ground is of particular concern as its location is adjacent to a public children’s play area
The replacement of the old wire fencing will not only improve the appearance of the ground but will also help to improve security, which has been a problem in recent years.
Page 87
Club members and volunteers have stated their intention to supply their labour to implement some of this work.
The club was asked to provide information about how it encourages players to maintain good standards of behaviour and fair play in its role as an example to young aspiring players and as ambassadors of the Calne Community Area visiting and being visited by other clubs from across the West of England. The management has provided assurance that it wants to encourage a family atmosphere at home matches, for the ground to be a welcoming place where families come to enjoy football together, they want to encourage more young people to get involved in the sport for their health and wellbeing and also to support their local club and feel proud of the place they live. The club would like to be a good ambassador for the town and the community as the team tours the West of England playing against other clubs and meeting their players and supporters, but also when other clubs and their supporters visit Calne.
They recognise there are sometimes challenges in how players set an example to the community when playing football and the committee has an action plan in place;
1. They intend to roll out the FA Respect campaign, which has previously taken place with the management team, but is about to be rolled out across the team, emphasising that; a. It is not acceptable to offer dissent to referees b. Bad and Foul Language to the opposition or to your own players is also unacceptable c. The captain should take ownership of the teams behaviour 2. The Club is focusing on regular offenders and working with them to acknowledge their behaviour and their environment 3. A Respect poster campaign is underway in and around the club house as a visual reminder of the expectation that is associated with representing Calne Town FC 4. All players (Adults and U18s) are expected to sign up to the Respect Code of Conduct guidance from the FA.
They believe that having a well maintained, safe and secure ground will help to promote a more welcoming, nurturing and professional approach to playing and watching football in Calne.
Sports Development officers have commented upon the positive approach with which Calne Town FC views potential issues and are particularly pleased to note the incorporation of a player’s code of conduct and the roll out of the Respect campaign as suitable tools and a proactive approach to ensuring issues do not arise.
This application can be seen to link to JSA and Community priorities to encourage active and healthy lifestyles and to promote diversity and inclusion.
The amount requested represents 17% of the total project cost. Proposal That the Area Board determines the application.

Application ID Applicant Project Proposal Requested
2470 Calne Men’s Shed Connection of electricity £655.00 Project Description: The Calne Men’s Shed is a new community group in Calne providing older men (but not exclusively older men) from across the Community Area a place to go and opportunities to make new friendships over a workbench and a cup of tea. The group has been lucky to identify premises in Calne and this application was made to connect an electricity supply to the building.
Input from Community Engagement Manager: The Calne Men’s shed is an enthusiastic and dynamic group, which has grown from 10 members to almost 30 in under 6 months.
The Shed is also linking with the repair academy to provide opportunities for joined up work/mentoring of young people who are engaging in that project.
This project has been recognised as an important activity and social opportunity for the Community of Calne and it can be seen to address all 5 of the major JSA and Community priorities to some degree.
The application represented 100% of the total amount requested.
The Community Engagement Manager consulted with the Chair and Vice Chair of the Area Board; the Older People’s/Carers Champion and with Cllr John Thomson (Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Communities, Campuses, Area Boards and Broadband) who were all in support of the application.
The application was awarded under delegated authority by the Community Engagement Manager on 19th July 2017.
The reason for delegation was that, having narrowly missed the previous area board, which was held on the 6th June and due to the August break in Area Board meetings, the applicant would have had to wait until mid-September to be heard by the Area Board.
A delay in installing an electricity supply would prevent the group from starting any of the work projects they were already planning and may have resulted in them losing some of their dynamism.
Proposal That the Area Board notes this award under delegated authority.
